Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal heard three linked cases against Nationwide Crash Repair Centres Limited, which was in administration, at Bristol on 30 July 2021 before Employment Judge Millard. It found in each case that the respondent was in breach of contract by failing to pay the required notice period.
Gary Attwooll was awarded £2,166 gross as 4 weeks' notice pay, Michael Rodgers was awarded £541.50 gross as 4 weeks' notice pay, and Nicholas Hedges was awarded £12,999 gross as 12 weeks' notice pay. Each sum was described as damages for breach of contract.
Gary Attwooll's separate claim for unpaid holiday pay was dismissed following a withdrawal by the claimant. The written record notes that the reasons for judgment had been given orally at the hearing and that no written reasons would be provided unless requested.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
